Strong high pressure with heat & a few storms around New Mexico
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Less-muggy conditions are present in wake of yesterday's fewer thunderstorms that formed in Eastern New Mexico with rain-free conditions now mostly across New Mexico with somewhat-gusty easterly gap winds for a few areas. Above-freezing temperatures are even confined to most of the higher peaks of the Northern Mountains with valley floor locations starting off in the upper 40s, while elsewhere is mostly starting off in the upper 50s, 60s, and lower 70s. Forecast Continues Below Investigation: Politicians sink $13M in closed New Mexico tourist attraction Space: LIST: 5 places to go stargazing in New Mexico News: Videos show man in dumpster getting dumped into waste truck in Albuquerque Trending: Albuquerque City Council votes down 'RENT' ordinance Somewhat-persistent upper-level westerly winds with less moisture, along with a slight nudge in the jet stream to the north with a high pressure system moving in overhead from the southwest, will combine with the daytime heating, as well as with the lingering low-level moisture to the east, to produce a few storms in the mountains to East New Mexico today. Elsewhere, some clouds will pass on through with temperatures warming up well into the high 80s, 90s, and above 100 degrees for most central to southern areas, while the lingering muggy conditions will lead to northern areas reaching the 70s to the 80s. Drier air aloft is ahead, but the pendulum swing pattern of muggy mornings with breezy easterly winds shifting to southwesterly drier winds in the afternoons forming storms to the east will continue ahead. Temperatures will continue to rise ahead with much clearer skies through this Father's Day weekend into early next week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
